The storm in my life 17

The storm in my life Chapter 17 Katherine’s POV  I walked into the conference room and everyone still had their eyes on me and the looks were weird, I didn’t understand till I realized that my hands and Noah’s hands were still entwined. I took my hands out of his gently and walked behind him to the front and I stood aside. When we go there, Noah lifted his hands up and the whole place was quiet. “Good morning to you all”, he said in his husky voice. “Good morning”, they all said in unison. “I have a special announcement to make. Mr Hayford please come forward”, he said and a man who looked a bit older than him stood up and came forward. “First of all, I’ll like to congratulate Mr Hayford on all efforts he has put in the progress of this company, please give it up for him”, he said and everyone clapped and he smiled. “For quite some time now, the assistant manager slot has been empty and Mr Hayford has really been stressed out as well as

The storm in my life  Chapter 16 Katherine’s POV I was about to burst out and I felt someone hug me from behind. I turned around and it was Noah, I didn’t know how to react to this, so I just moved away and smiled at him. Everyone had their eyes on us especially the receptionist. I really felt awkward and shy. “Looking for me?” he asked. “Yeah”. “Let’s go”, he said walking towards the elevator and I followed him. We reached the 13th floor and we stepped out. “How many floors does this company have?” I asked. “15”, he said, turning right, and I followed him. As we got closer, we got to a huge office and I thought it was his, but I saw….. “Caroline?” I said out loud. “Katherine!” she also exclaimed and stood up but when she saw Noah, she sat down. Noah looked at us with a questioning look. “She was my friend in college”, I said, clearing him off his suspicion. “Oh, I see”, he said. “Any information for me Miss Adams?” he asked. “Yes sir, I’ve se

The storm in my life   Chapter 15 Katherine’s POV   “Are you okay?” Noah asked me. “Yeah, I’m fine”, I said pretending. “You don’t look fine”, he said lifting his left brow at me. “I am just overthinking things”. “Is it about the job offer?” he asked me. “Yeah, just nervous. It’s been long since I actually worked, as in a real work”. “Don’t worry, you’ll be fine. It’s not going to be that difficult and the manager will assist you with the difficulties you have”. “Mmm, okay. How often does your father come to the work place”? “Not that often. Ever since he became the governor, he’s been so busy, so he’s left everything in my hands. Don’t worry, no one can fire you except me”, he said, winking. “It’s not that, but…..mmm, thank you for the job. I’m so grateful”, I said, smiling. “You’re welcome. You start work tomorrow. I’ll make your formal introduction to the company tomorrow”, he said. “Tomorrow? Isn’t there supposed to be a

The storm in my life  Chapter 14 Katherine’s POV I got up the next morning and prepared to meet my doom. I knew that I was going to lose this job. I was a bit happy and really sad. I know that this is my fault; I should have just given in. I stepped out of my house and went straight to Quora Limited. I went to the manager’s office and immediately he saw me, he frowned. “Good morning Sir”, I said, really nervous. “Have a seat”, he said and I sat down. He stared at me for a while and didn’t say anything. I also couldn’t bring myself to talk, but then I had to say something, maybe I could save my job. But a part of me, didn’t want the job back. I was about to talk, but the manager spoke up. “You’re fired Miss Kerry”, he said handing over a letter to me. I took it from him and opened it. I was really sacked for assaulting a client? “Excuse me sir, but I didn’t assault him”. “Not a word”. “Are you doing this because he’s a governor”? “Governor?” the

The storm in my life Chapter 13 Katherine’s POV When he opened the door, his eyes widened. “Hello”, I said and he observed me for a while. “Come in”, he said, stepping out for me to walk in. I walked in and observed the room. It looked really fancy and I’m sure it was really expensive. I saw the wine and pair of glasses that he had placed on the bed. “Sit down”, he said and I sat on the bed. “You were the one who came with my son for the dinner, right?” “Yeah”, I said feeling nervous. “So you’re an escort and not his girlfriend?” he asked. “Yeah”, I said, looking away. I thought that he was going to tell me to go or something, but he rather sat by me and put his arms on my shoulders. “You’re very beautiful”, he said smiling and cupping my cheek. I wanted to scream and tell him to stay away from me, but doing that will cost me my job. “I know I look old, but I’m going to make you feel really good”, he said grinni

The storm in my life  Chapter 12 Katherine’s POV “Noah’s dad?” I said to myself. How is this possible? This must be a mistake. I took my phone and called Amber. “Hello Amber”. “Hello Miss Kerry. Have you received your money and mail?” “Yeah. I have, but I have a problem with my client”. “What problem?” “The client is Noah’s dad, the governor”. “Are you sure?” she asked. “Yeah, take a look at the picture, that’s him”. “I’m not really familiar with his face, but are you sure it’s him”. “Yeah, it is”. “But the name says Gabe Northman”. “Really? I didn’t look at the name, but that’s him”. “Okay, thanks for the information”, she said. “So, are we cancelling it?” “No, of course not”. “But I can’t do that. A man and his father, that’s going to be so messed up”. “We don’t really care about the life of our client. We just offer them what they want and that’s all”. “Hmm, but can I pick my other client and drop this one?” “No, if you do that, you’

The storm in my life  Chapter 11 Katherine’s POV “The new one”, I said without thinking. “You’re bored with the first one already?” she asked. “Not that, I just want to try a new face”. “Okay, you know you’re going to lose money by picking him right?” “Yeah, I know”, I said. “Okay, I’ll send you the details through your mail”. “Sure and uhm, when will the money be transferred to my account?” “As soon as I get off the line, I’ll let the accountant do that”. “Okay”, I said smiling. Immediately I got off the line, I jumped up and down my bed in jubilation. I was really surprised that Noah paid the money. I don’t know what his deal is, but I don’t want to get into it, so I just had to choose a different client. I wasn’t ready to get into something deep. I was dancing around when I heard my phone beep. I took and received a bank alert. I had money being paid into my account. It wasn’t that much, but it was enough to move my dad and start something at least.
